Hello - I am in the midst of trying to set up a FreeBSD server through a PPP tunnel. I work for a non-profit organization and they are beginning a for-profit side of their organization. As the for-profit side gets started they are running it out of a house. So as the systems admin for the non-profit side I set up a server for them. But, we can not keep the server on the grounds of the non-profit organization for some legal reasons. So what I did was set up a PPP tunnel from the server in the house the non-profit's server. Let's call the for-profit server "shorty" and the non-profit server "amnesiac." Shorty is behind a router that connects to a cable modem. It tunnels out and connects to Amnesiac using user-ppp. That all works fine, but what I want to do is have an IP address that is on the public Internet tunnel back to Shorty behind the cable modem. Amnesiac has an IP address and domain name on the internet. What I want it to do is listen for an additional ip address and directy back to shorty. Is this possible? I tried various combinations of natd/ipfw setups but I couldn't make it work. I can give specific tried setups, but I figure that'd probably be a waste of everyone's time because some could lay out what to do in a few seconds. Also, I am open to any other suggestions on how to make this work not using ppp....
